Are we taking transformerless sets? Series strung jobs? I find that the rectifier and the audio output do have a higher failure rate. When the heaters don't light those are the first I check. Sometimes there is a paper cap between the plate and the heater on the rectifier that will blow out the tap for the dial lamp if it is bad.
